The problem is that almost everything that is wrong with the game comes together at T9 now. With visibility and firing ranges as they are, that puts pretty much the entire map into your effective area of attack.

I'd say in large part this is a more general spotting issue though, as you don't need to get the spotting info directly from a ship spotting the enemy for you with a max sharing range, but can basically get it anywhere on the map. As such it is quite likely to get relatively high damage outputs. I very often find myself targeting island stationary hugging cruisers on the other side of the map who thought it safe to slowly backup and show their side. In part I think it's because the Satsuma has a relatively short lead at long range (more often 13s where Yama and Vermont get 15s at slightly shorter ranges), making the long range flanking more likely. The ships themselves aren't necessarily that much stronger (I think a well played Yama or Vermont should be able to beat a Satsuma one on one for instance - of course I see a lot of Yamas go broadside for no reason when in Satsuma.) and even T8 DDs should have a field day against these ships, but they are definitely stronger and have the added fear factor range potential. Powercreep has never been fun and is I think generally seen as an unfortunate unavoidable thing, but TIX/TX seemed like a relatively safe space with at most a +1 MM. It's probably in part if not mostly that people have told themselves that powercreep was supposed to stop at TX.

It's just some whining and trolling from ppl who don't like superships, thats all.
